i really don't want to play basketball

Chapter 122 [Interesting things]

NBA training camps start very early. After all, there are preseason games, and this year's preseason started in mid-October.

In other words, there are only a few days left.

But Xia Yin still called Guigui, Love, and Curry. The three of them withdrew from the Dream Nine team for him. This kind of support was very strong, and he had to show it.

This summer, they often played together, especially Xia Yin who turned around to join the Tianchao men's basketball team and led the team to win the championship. Guigui and the others also watched the whole game.

As soon as Xia Yin called, they rushed over.

"Hi, Xia Yin, long time no see, how are you?"

Xia Yin smiled and stepped forward to give Guigui a big hug. This guy is tough on the court, but he is a very loyal friend off the court. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

"Thank you for supporting me, thank you very much!"

Westbrook smiled and patted Shane on the shoulder, "It's okay to say this, we are brothers."

Le Fu raised his eyebrows at the side, laughed and gave Xia Yin a hug, without saying anything.

"Although you say that, I still want to say thank you. After all, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't quit the dream team. If you didn't quit, and I didn't join the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team, you have a great chance to win the World Championships. .”

"Of course, the important thing is your support for me. I am very touched. This is brotherhood."

Turtle opened his hands and said, "According to you, you owe us a championship? Hahaha."

Love looked at Curry, "Now he has gone to the Warriors, and we are all working hard in our respective teams. When you have a chance in the future, you have to think about us, just like the Big Three of the Heat. We will also hold together to win in the future." champion."

Xia Yin laughed loudly, "No problem, if you haven't won the championship by then, I will help you win the championship!"

"Agreed?"

"A word is settled!"

The three palms were put together and they laughed at the same time.

Curry looked anxious on the sidelines, but at this time he knew that he didn't have to worry. Xia Yin will be with the Warriors in the next few years. If he wants to win the championship, he must win it first.

Only then did Xia Yin look at Curry and said, "And you."

Curry smiled and opened his hands, smiling from ear to ear. The dream team quit as soon as they quit. They can still enter the Olympics after 2 years, but the boss's thigh can't be hugged at any time.

Curry, as a dual-business guy, certainly knows this, and it’s not beyond his expectations. This summer, the Warriors have undergone major changes, and all of his familiar teammates have been cleared out one by one.

In the end, there were only Anthony Morrow and Yi Jianlian, two people he was familiar with, and the others were all newly recruited.

It can also be seen from here how high Xia Yin's status is in the Warriors.

The key is that after watching the entire World Championships, Curry gave him a thumbs up. Xia Yin was so fierce, he became even more powerful, and he was like a god of war at critical moments.

He was extremely grateful that he made the right decision.

Master Xia is here, and the Warriors' day is about to dawn. When Master Xia is here, he will be put on the starting lineup. When Master Xia is here, his championship dream will have a chance to come true.

"Boss, this is what I should do, I will definitely stand on the same front with you!"

Love kept "tsk-tsk-tsk" on the sidelines. This guy Curry talks nicely and makes people comfortable when he does things.

He and Guigui looked at each other and thought of his teammate at the same time, why didn't there be such a potential and nice-speaking teammate.

"Okay, okay, come in, everything is ready, let's chat while eating."

The three of them brought three bottles of wine, a bottle of red wine, a bottle of champagne and a bottle of whiskey. After all, when Xia Yin invited them to his home, he must have brought something with him.

Xia Yin was the one cooking today. He made several Chinese dishes, and a chef made French dishes. The combination of the two made a large table of dishes look very appetizing.

Before the meal, Xia Yin poured the sober red wine for several people, raised his glass and said with a smile,

"Respect friendship!"

"Respect friendship!"

Putting down the wine glass, Xia Yin took out three bags from the side and placed them in front of the three people.

"This, a gift for you, is my compensation."

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. You all know that I am a layman, and the gifts I give are also very tacky. After all, I am rich, haha."

When he mentioned this, Westbrook became unceremonious. He opened the bag and muttered, "Tell me, how big of a deal is this? We used to eat and drink from you when we were in college. You're just too polite." .”

Turtle took out a box from the bag. It was a very delicate box, but I couldn't tell what it was.

The punch box contains a key.

"Koenigsegg CCX, V8 engine, there are less than 1000 units worldwide, one for each of you. Of course, I also have one, and we can go out for a ride together in the future."

Xia Yin introduced with a smile that this was the first gift he gave.

Westbrook, Love and Curry are still on rookie contracts, their sneaker contracts are not big, and they don't have many endorsements. They don't make much money in a year.

And the price of this sports car is a million dollars, and it is also very cool. There are very few NBA players who don't like cars.

"Wow! Wow, wow, wow!" Le Fu shouted a few times. Although his family was wealthy, such a gift was indeed very expensive.

Not to mention Curry and Guigui, their eyes widened, "Is this true? Give it to us? Xia Yin, if you really give it away, I won't be polite to you?"

"It's just a gift for you. Some decisions cannot be measured by money, but now I can only repay in this respect."

"Look at the second gift!"

Curry took out a document from inside, "This is it?"

"This is a chance for me to make money for you. Invest 500 million US dollars, with an annualized return of 25%, for a period of 4 years."

Westbrook's eyes widened, "So high?"

Xia Yin smiled, "You know that our family has several funds. This is the back door I opened for you. You can count as much as you can. If you don't have enough, I will make up $500 million for you. After four years Just deduct it from the profit."

The financial crisis is still brewing, and there will be labor negotiations after the end of this season. According to the current situation, there is a high possibility of a shutdown. It is impossible to say that they are not in crisis.

Every time the nba is suspended, it is a huge crisis, and no one knows whether it can survive it.

Now there is such an opportunity in front of them. Xia Yin can help them make money. This is a rare opportunity.

And Xia Yin's funds and investment companies have made a lot of money in the past two years. Otherwise, where would they get the money to invest and expand their business?

"This..." Le Fu wanted to say something more, but Gui Gui held his thigh on the side. He covered the document with a smile, "Thank you brother for helping us make money. Here's to you!"

Curry and Love raised their glasses excitedly, drank half of the glass of red wine in one gulp, and it was yes when the emotions were in place.

After all, they haven't reached the peak yet, and their commercial value hasn't been shown yet, so what Xia Yin sent is a big gift!

Love took out the last box from the bag, opened the box, and inside were four signed albums and signed posters released by Shine, which were luxurious limited editions.

"Give it to a friend. I'm a bit of a fan."

Curry chuckled. His wife is a loyal fan of Shane. Although there are signed photos and albums, she does not have this limited edition.

"Then we won't be polite!"

"Come on, come on, cheers!"

At the end of the meal, Xia Yin contributed several bottles of good wine, and he was drunk until the end.

We drank until the moonlight was full before we left.

Turtle and Love went back to their room to sleep, but they didn't stay for long. The training camps of the teams started immediately, and they will go back tomorrow. It's time to prepare for the new season.

But, Curry is still here.

His face was red, with a smile on his face all the time, Xia Yin frowned, "If you have something to say, I will punish you if you behave like this."

Curry quickly picked up a bottle of water and poured it on his hand, rubbed his face vigorously, feeling a lot more energetic.

He's not like Xia Yin, drinking like water, nothing happened at all.

"Boss, what do you think of my future?"

Curry hesitated for a long time and finally asked the question in his heart.

Xia Yin didn't answer him, but asked instead, "How has your shooting posture changed?"

"It's improved a lot, but it's not stable,"

Curry did not participate in the dream team, so he did not cause left ankle injuries. If the left ankle was not injured, it reduced a lot of injuries to the right ankle. This is a chain factor.

However, his ankle has been injured twice, and after the start of the new season, there is no guarantee that he will not be injured again.

In his previous life, in the next two seasons, Curry's ankle problems always plagued him. At that time, he was a well-known glass man in the league, and the Warriors also took risks to renew his contract.

But this also achieved the warrior era in the previous life, after all, child labor contracts.

"We will play new tactics in the new season, and you haven't figured out about sending Ellis away?"

Curry said excitedly, "I know the team values ​​me, but..."

"In the new season, you will feel the blessing of the new tactics, and you will not be confused at that time."

"The road is made step by step. You just think too much. Let me ask you a question. What types do you think NBA superstars have?"

Curry tilted his head, not knowing why, Xia Yin sighed,

"There are three categories of NBA superstars.

One is that the fans and the media think he is very good, but the players don't think so, such as Stockton.

The other is that the fans don't take it seriously, but the players respect it very much, such as Pippen.

The third type is respected by fans, players and media, such as Magic, Jordan and Bird. "

"Which do you want to be?"

Shane looked at Curry with a deep smile.

Curry took a deep breath, and various thoughts came to his mind.

After all, he is still young now, coupled with the incompatibility between Ellis and Ellis in the past two years, he is not happy playing in the Warriors. To be honest, he is quite confused.

Therefore, there is such a question.

Shane is his idol. He doesn't have as good body and defense as Shane, but he has three points.

"Yeah, which one do I want to be?"

The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, and the more open his mind became, because there was a good reference object in front of him.

Kobe Bryant is his best reference.

This is not about skills, but about career planning.

Kobe was holding O'Neill's thigh to achieve the dynasty, and then he was to prove himself.

"Figured out?"

"I figured it out, Kobe is my goal!"

Xia Yin knew what he meant, but he still said, "Stick to being yourself, three-pointers is your label, and we will join hands to create a new era."

"I won't stay in the Warriors for long. If we can replicate the dynasty of Kobe and O'Neal, when I leave, you will grow up. At that time, you just need to prove yourself."

Curry smiled, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Every year the free market opens up, the league will usher in a change. However, there is still a difference between "change and change". In other words, the free market is also "big and small."

And this year is a big year, with so many big stars and big fish, what do you think of their choices this year, right? "

Curry said seriously, "It would be a wrong decision for Ray Allen to stay with the Celtics. They are one year older and the risks have increased too much. He will regret it. The same is true for Pierce. The Green Army has been red-shirted since After the bishop, he is very cold-blooded.

It is indeed good for Stoudemire to go to New York. He can get a big contract and increase business value. It can be regarded as a retirement.

Bosh, Wade, and James form the Big Three, and there are many problems. Once they get along well, it's time to face us.

Only Dayao going to the Mavericks and Nowitzki staying with the Mavericks is a great choice, and they are very promising next season. "

Xia Yin couldn't help but stare at him, "Is this your own idea?"

Curry chuckled, "I was just thinking about it."

"I'm just thinking. It's good that you have this knowledge. I didn't expect it, Curry!"

"No, it's mainly because I talked a lot with Mr. West, most of which are his analysis."

"That's it, no wonder."

Xia Yin said seriously, "Take me and James as an example."

"James' physical talent is of historical level, but other things... can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

The ugly and uncoordinated dribbling, the below-average mid-to-long-range shooting percentage, the bulldozing breakthrough without any skills, the dunk action that has not changed for thousands of years, the defense that depends on the mood, the last moment of passing the blame, and the shamelessness of comparing the city wall. "

Hearing Shane say that about James, Curry's eyes widened.

"Don't look at me like that, he is a superstar, I admit it, but he is not legendary! Needless to say, everyone has their own definition, but I also admire him very much, he has his own set of things."

"James may have some problems on the court, but to be honest, James is really good off the court.

This fully shows that people are complex. "

When Xia Yin said this, Curry also began to think, that's true, the smooth and smooth socialite, it seems that many people have a good relationship with him.

"The biggest difference between me and James is that I left after the Suns won the championship, and that was the only championship for the Suns. I have roots.

Now that I come to the Warriors, as long as I can lead the Warriors to win the championship, then I can also have a foundation in the Warriors, because this is the Warriors' championship after many years of absence. After all, the Warriors have been sinking for many years. "

Curry nodded sharply. This is good. Xia Yin is now a Sun star. There is no problem with being second in team history. After all, Nash has worked hard and accomplished a lot, but there is no problem in being tied with Nash for first place in team history.

"James is different. He went to the Heat without winning the championship. If he didn't win the championship in the Heat, then he has no roots.

In addition to returning to the Cavaliers again, or going to a team to win the championship, there is no face to return to the Cavaliers. Returning to the Cavaliers must win the championship in order to wash away many things.

He has no choice! "

"Great players need stories and feelings!"

Curry mused.
